[opensuse-marketing] my openSUSE 11.3 demo
by Andreas Jaeger 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

As an inspiration for others, I'd like to share with you what I did yesterday at the Launch event. I demoed openSUSE and used the following script for that. I had to cheat at one point since SpiderOak needs an extra depencency (hope it makes it as online update soon), so I downloaded the complete package from the spideroak server. Start: Youtube Video DVD Installation - from http://wiki.opensuse.org/Screenshots That one was soo quick that I had to pause it, I gave some quick explanations... It was so incredible quick that people had fun and enjoyed it. GNOME Shell =========== * Say, to setup "zypper in gnome-shell" * Log in - show how to select the "GNOME 3 Preview" in gdm/kdm * Start shell * go to Activities * Explain Workspace - and how intuitive they are due to the overview - Search for applications, emacs - Drag firefox on "+" sign - opens new workspace - add/remove workspaces - move apps between workspaces * Explain and show panel - Name of application - Activities buttong - Tray area - calendar Alt-Tab for switching apps More details: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Tour Tracker (still shown as part of GNOME session) ======= * GUI Icon -> show and explain a few options * Create file, via echo "red green blue" > test * Search -> "blue" -> immediately found Now logout, login to KDE: Ksuseinstall - installs codecs, debug infos ============================ * Start Amarok * You get asked for codecs, add packman and install packages. KDE Plasma netbook =========== * Explain how to switch - Desktop Preferences, workspace, form factor * Show Page One/"Newsletter - 2 columns" -> shows streams likes news, weather, social desktop activity , you can scroll down * Launch/search - search firefox both via query and via "menu", start it * Switch applications Spideroak ========= I've setup the program before so that I could show how to use it in practice: * first step: backup data, so select directories, press "save" * once uploaded, you can sync of backup data - between my different computers (just explained) * Also: share of backup data - publish content on spideroak website Log out of KDE, log into LXDE LXDE ==== * Add application to desktop - right click on menu * Launch firefox * Launch LXDE Control Center * Launch OpenBox - show lots of options to configure windowmanager * Filemanager - shows Applications as well See also the video referenced from the screenshots pages for some more inspiration - or show the video completely zypper ====== removal of dependencies: * zypper in gwibber - did install 11 packages for me * zypper rm -u gwibber - removed the 11 packages again obs syntax - shortcut notation: zypper ar -f obs://openSUSE:Factory:Contrib/openSUSE_11_3 contrib Run command and explain how nice and short it is I had prepared two laptops and had to login/logout between each desktop. One desktop would have been enough but I didn't want to install everything on my main laptop, so prepared the second one to showcase LXDE. Note for showing the KDE Plasma netbook edition, any screen size will do, Btw. you need to practice this in one run, I played with each desktop a bit but then going through it, I encountered some problems that I had to fix on the fly, e.g. killing packagekit during the ksuseinstall. An option is also to do this with two persons - one person talks and explains on the wall, the other works the laptop.

[opensuse-marketing] Software Freedom Day 2010 is coming
by Alexjan Carraturo 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hello I introduce myself, my name Alexjan Carraturo, I am a openSUSE Ambassador (as many of you), I am the president of the Free Software User Group Italy, fellow of FSFE and board member of the "Software Freedom International. I am pleased to remind you that September 18, 2010, including this year, play the Software Freedom Day I remind everyone that the SFD is an international event dedicated to free software and GNU / Linux. It takes place in many countries worldwide, including of course my (Italy). With openSUSE, last year, it was possible to provide CDs of openSUSE many students in schools, and also the ambassador lodged openSUSE students. I wondered if this year you can have the same material last year for our SFD 2010, and eventually, we also try to redistribute a bit 'for the other teams that make SFD in Italy. See the openSUSE CD for us would be really very important, and therefore, if this is not the right place to ask, you wonder if you can tell me where can I request. I remember that in both 2008 and in 2009 we had an audience of more than 500 students, many of them took the CD (and the gadegets like t-shirts, stickers and others) and thanks to those who have tried it last year, sent us the CDs of openSUSE. If possible, let me have news soon Yours sincerely Alexjan Carraturo -- ######################################## Alexjan Carraturo admin of Free Software Users Group Italia http://www.fsugitalia.org Fedora Ambassador: Axjslack openSUSE Ambassador: Axjslack Free Software Foundation Europe Fellow 1623 Software Freedom International board member ######################################## -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

by Andreas Jaeger 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

What is the best way to measure the success for our release on twitter - and how to do it? My naive metrics would be: * number of retweets * number of tweets about #openSUSE How can I track those? What other metrics are usefull?

[opensuse-marketing] Communication via VoIP
by Okuro Oikawa 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hallo, I lately thought about a better communication between the openSUSE Members, Ambassadors and all the others who want to promote openSUSE. It seems to me as if it's much easier to express your thoughts when talking than when writing. Therefore my suggestion would be for all the before mentioned to share their skype account for everybody to add as a contact. What do you think about this? -- Best wishes, Okuro Oikawa aka Thomas Hofstätter ### openSUSE Member ### ### openSUSE Ambassador ### ### Member of the openSUSE Marketing Team ### ### Translator of the openSUSE Weekly News ### ### Writer of the openSUSE News (Event-Editor) ### ### http://en.opensuse.org/User:Okuro ### ### http://linuxokuro.wordpress.com/ ### ### Private Website: http://hidden-space.at.tf ### -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
